When I moved the Liva to the TV location I swapped in the off-brand/generic IR receiver that had been working for years with CentOS 6 and the mceusb driver therein.<br>
<br>
Guess what? Nothing.<br>
<br>
So I swapped the old Microsoft receiver to get things working. But why didn't the other receiver work? I had also purchased an inexpensive HP receiver and in a fit of pique threw it in the trash when it didn't work with the Liva. I think I was rash.<br>
<br>
Can anyone provide any guidance on getting an off-brand receiver working with newer kernels? I assume support for older hardware has been removed. I recall the HP receiver did load mceusb and identify it as the usual "eHome receiver" I've always seen. Just no output from irw.<br>
<br>
Can anyone point to USB IR receivers available that work with current kernels? Obviously the old Microsoft receivers are long out of stock.<br>
